3 Loaves and some green things

Well, there are three loaves and there is a green tray. With lots of work going on in the back yard, men working in the heat, my sourdough starter unused for six weeks, what better than to exercise the starter and some muscles. A lovely 9″ loaf for each of us, mine shared with a neighbor and my portion with cold butter and leftover hummus, part of Mark’s dipped into hot tea and the rest saved to go with a hot sausage patty later, and Neal’s left until morning.

While they were rising, I popped outside with the camera to catch the light on a couple green things in the front yard.

Bluebells run wild

and, because it’s unique, a big hunk of Kingdome rebar as art. See how it’s shaped like a falcon? And, naturally, there’s a bit of green amongst the steel. Pretty, isn’t it?
